"An Introduction to the Microscopical Study of Diatoms"

[billbillt]

Here is a link to a somewhat lengthy, highly intense, "tour de force" manuscript on diatoms... I don't think there is a more complete volume on the subject furnished anywhere else.. You can get lost for days here..

Hey Bill,

I have come across that previously, and have downloaded and read parts.

What an undertaking! People like him who are so dedicated to a discipline are truly rare.

Another example of that dedication is Robert Burnham's Burnham's Celestial Handbook. It is a wonderful guide to the night sky in three volumes, written by one man.

Thanks for reminding me about this, I think I will spend some time reading about Diatoms tonight.

Hi Rod,

I don't think there would be anything left to read about diatoms when a person finishes this.. A masterpiece..

Another masterpiece is Treatise on the Diatomaceae by H. F. Van Heurck. This is my bible when it comes to Diatoms. Also another fantastic book with a large informative section on Diatoms is; The Microscope and its Revelations by W. B. Carpenter, although written in 1891 it still holds firm the information concerning Diatoms.

Yes.. Both of these volumes are quite useful.. Thanks for sharing..
